Telling may work well in picture books where space is limited, and writers can leave the details to illustration.
Oral stories, fairytales, folktales, and fables often rely on telling rather than showing because direct messages are more digestible, easier to remember and repeat. Of course, this flies in the face of conventional wisdom. But conventional wisdom is not always wise.
